You're highest ever recorded dps in a group is a bad measure of your performance, and will create expectations from the people that you won't be able to meet.

Record your dps for 5 minutes against a training dummy self buffed. Use that number, and say that its self buffed. Its accurate, and its a baseline that you should always be able to meet, excluding movement heavy fights.

I tell people what I percieve to be the average. For example, on Malygos (10) the other day, I did 2700, on Loatheb (10) I did 4000. These numbers aren't entirely accurate, as I only beat on Malygos with my mace for the first two minutes of the fight, the rest of it I'm chasing scions or on a drake. And Loatheb's not entirely accurate because I get spores. However, 2700 and 4k seem to be the low and high end of my dps so I usually just ball park it and say 3k, which is the number I see the most on fights.

No. Just. No.

You take your dps from a fight like Patchy. It is an actual boss that you shouldn't have to stop casting/or dpsing in general. There is no moving or gimmick dps increases, unfortunately for Mut Rogues however he is not "Murderable".

Edited for misquote.

Well Patch doesn't work for me because I'm always asked to tank when we get there. At anyrate, I'm not saying I get my dps readouts from those two fights, just that thats where I find my highest and lowest dps, without going into fights like thaddius where I can hit 6k, but it doesn't count because of the mechanics. On pretty much every fight however, trash, bosses, what have you, in a raid instance when I'm ret, I hover around 3k, sometimes a few hundred above, sometimes a few hundred below, which is why I mentioned Maly and Loatheb. So I just say 3k.

You could say I got X DPS in instances and Y DPS for raids. Try not to use values of fight that gives you a bonus to DPS or a fight that required a lot of moving around which will give you a lower DPS.

I would not use the test dummy. I find that DPS to be the lowest rating. Could just be me. And if you tell people this score, you might next get the invite.

dps on test dummy is actually the more comparable one.but players in game dont use it at all, they tend to lie about their dps , they probaly feel leet when they say 4.5k dps raid buffed instead of 3.5k on lv80 dummy only.

Just give out the number that you usually do in a group. For me, I just go with "Uber".
